For Immediate Release July 2019 Trigger Hippy Returns FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JULY 2019 TRIGGER HIPPY RETURNS OCTOBER 11TH WITH FIRST ALBUM IN FIVE YEARS FULL CIRCLE & THEN SOME FEATURING NEW LINE UP Nashville, TN - Rejuvenated artist collective Trigger Hippy is back with their first album in five years, Full Circle & Then Some releasing October 11th via Turkey Grass Records/Thirty Tigers. Led by Black Crowes co-founder/drummer Steve Gorman and bassist/vocalist Nick Govrik, Trigger Hippy, version 2.0, now features Band Of Heathens vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Ed Jurdi and powerhouse vocalist/saxophonist Amber Woodhouse as they write the next chapter. Full Circle & Then Some is the long-awaited follow up to the group’s 2014 self-titled debut, which American Songwriter gave four-stars calling it, “…one of this year’s finest Southern soul-rock releases.” Following the album cycle and ensuing tour, former bandmembers Joan Osborne and Jackie Greene returned to their established solo careers. Govrik, the band’s main songwriter, continued to write and play while also becoming a successful restauranteur. The multi-talented Gorman continued to play music while hosting his Fox Sports Radio show “Steve Gorman Sports!” (which ran for eight years) and finishing his book Hard to Handle: The Life And Death Of The Black Crowes, out this fall. Govrik and Gorman always planned to keep Trigger Hippy going, but it wasn’t until they connected with Jurdi and newcomer Woodhouse, that everything clicked. Full Circle & Then Some finds the band building on a foundation steeped in music that grew out of the South. The unit infuses high energy doses of R&B, funk, blues, rock and gospel with a little Memphis soul and New Orleans boogie tossed into the mix. The result is both captivating and exhilarating. Trigger Hippy flex their muscle right out of the gate on Full Circle & Then Some with the rousing “Don’t Want To Bring You Down”, featuring a lead by all three vocalists and a highly spirited refrain. The group’s eclectic sound ranges from the country soul infused “Strung Out On The Pain” to the hypnotic dance rhythm of ‘”Born To Be Blue” to Lowell George / Dr. John / Allen Toussaint stylings on “Lost Lost Friend” and “One of Them”. Special guests on Full Circle And Then Some include harmonica virtuoso Mickey Raphael, and guitarist/mandolin player Guthrie Trapp. With all of these styles melded into one, some might find Trigger Hippy difficult to categorize. We may need to recall a time way back, when all these influences would come together in a group and they were actually referred to as… A Rock ‘n’ Roll Band!

  • Gathering of the Vibes 2008 Chad Berndtson July 29, 2008 Having
    Preview: Gathering of the Vibes 2008 Chad Berndtson July 29, 2008 Having recently finished an enterprise feature for another publication on the glut of national music festivals and what role that glut creates for regional festivals with a lot more personality, I’m more excited this year for the Gathering of the Vibes than I have been in quite some time. As the man said, “He’d have to be one charming motherfuckin pig”…er, sorry, “Personality goes a long way.” Compared to the Roo- and Coachella-sized behemoths, and a lot of the sexy new kids with names both playful and official-sounding—Rothbury might be a bit of both, and allegedly, it was quite the time—the Vibes is a creakier, more elegant dinosaur. A glorious, humble triceratops of a festival, yes, secure in its size, pleasant in its modest ambition and its abilities, not ostentatious, and kindly manageable. And damn isn’t it great to have it back in New England proper (it returned in 2007 after several years of renovation to Bridgeport’s Seaside Park and a few years at various upstate New York locales)? For this born/bred New Englander, it’s not only in a New England/Tri-State area happy medium, but it fills a still-felt void left by the big Phish festivals of yore and especially the can’t-believe-it’s-been-five-years-now departed Berkshire Mountain Music Festival (1997-2003). (For Berkfest alums from those heady days, monsoon conditions and all, have a scoop of nostalgia on the house) The Vibes doesn’t have the gaudy cache of some festivals, or some of the nationally dazzling headliners.

  • Real World Concert Photography Concert Photography Can Be One of the Most Exciting and Frustrating Types of Photography
    Real World Concert Photography Concert photography can be one of the most exciting and frustrating types of photography. Constantly moving lights, dark venues, fast moving subjects, limited shooting times, and limited access all make concert photography one of the more difficult subjects to master. The first hurdle to overcome is just being allowed to photograph the show. GETTING ACCESS There are just a handful of people who control the access to shoot concerts. You need to ask one (or more) of these folks for permission to photograph the show. The following people can usually grant you access to shoot a show: • The Promoter: The folks who are putting on the show. This also includes the companies like Live Nation or AEG. • The Publicist: Works for the band or label. • The Venue: They usually have a or need a house photographer. • The Band: You know, The Band! To find these folks takes some searching skill and it is time to make Google your friend. Some things to search for: • Search the band website for contact information. • Search publicity companies for contacts. • Look at the promoters for the shows you want to shoot. • Contact the band directly asking who their press contact is. • Look for the venue contacts. Once you have contact information it is time to offer something for something. What is in it for the person giving you the pass? What can you offer them? This is pretty easy to answer if you are working for a newspaper, magazine or wire service. You are offering good publicity. It is a little more difficult if you are a freelance photographer or just a fan.

Gorman’s memoir Hard To Handle: The Life and Death of The Black Crowes was released on September 24th via Da Capo Press and has garnered much attention. Press coverage is set to run in Rolling Stone, The Wall Street Journal and much more. The Houston Press called the book, "Insightful and explosive...almost every page has some sort of jaw-dropping revelation...and Gorman was there from the very beginning to the last downbeat.” Gorman gives readers rare insight into the inner dynamics of The Black Crowes and the tumultuous rollercoaster journey of the once great American rock band. Chris Shiflett, guitarist for the Foo Fighters, said, “Bands are beautiful fragile toxic things–always one wrong glance or argument away from falling apart.

  • SHAKE YOUR FAITH Diamond Day Records Is Very Excited to Announce the Release of the Steepwater Band’S 6Th Full-Length Studio Album SHAKE YOUR FAITH
    THE STEEPWATER BAND : SHAKE YOUR FAITH Diamond Day Records is very excited to announce the release of The Steepwater Band’s 6th full-length studio album SHAKE YOUR FAITH. The LP features 11 brand new TSB tracks, and is slated for release on Friday, April 1st via Double 180 Gram Vinyl, Compact Disc and Digital Download. The album was recorded last winter at Crushtone Studios, in the shadows of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, in Cleveland, Ohio. Shake Your Faith was produced by the band along with seasoned rock studio veteran Jim Wirt, who has also worked with the likes of Fiona Apple, Incubus and the Buffalo Killers. As with most TSB albums, the sound and songwriting on Shake Your Faith has grown and expanded, yet retained the true nature of the band. It’s the first TSB studio record in over 4 years and the first to include “new” guitarist Eric Saylors. "SHAKE YOUR FAITH is a stomping, seductive cry that real rock 'n' roll is alive and well in a band with the swagger, justified confidence, and badass tunes of a modern classic, a collection with all the heart and hips of 70s Stones and serious competition to contemporaries like The Black Keys, Ben Harper, and Jack White." - Dennis Cook {Dirty Impound} • Their song “Dance Me a Number” from Revelation Sunday receives nearly 10,000 spins on Pandora daily, on such channels as The Black Keys, Alabama Shakes, White Stripes, Led Zeppelin, and more. • Their 2010 single The Stars Look Good Tonight reached # 109 on the Triple A radio charts and it was featured during the June 29, 2010, WGN-TV (nationally syndicated) broadcast of the Chicago Cubs Major League Baseball game.

Though he disavowed the role, Garcia was viewed by many as the leader or "spokesman" of the group. One of its founders, Garcia performed with the Grateful Dead for their entire thirty-year career (1965–1995). Garcia also founded and participated in a variety of side projects, including the Saunders-Garcia Band (with longtime friend Merl Saunders), the Jerry Garcia Band, Old and in the Way, the Garcia/Grisman acoustic duo, Legion of Mary, and the New Riders of the Purple Sage (which Garcia co-founded with John Dawson and David Nelson).

  • Joan Osborne Sings the Songs of Bob Dylan
    For Immediate Release 18 April 2017 Contact: Jodi Joseph Director of Communications 413.664.4481 x8113 [email protected] Joan Osborne Sings the songs of Bob Dylan NORTH ADAMS, MASSACHUSETTS — “Like Bonnie Raitt, a musician to whom she has often been compared, Ms. Osborne is a fiercely intelligent, no-nonsense singer- songwriter who is allergic to traditional pop sentimentality, though hardly devoid of feeling… She treats Mr. Dylan as fellow troubadour and roustabout, inventing the rules while traveling along an endless road. Mr. Dylan’s songs are so deeply ingrained in the culture, it’s a wonder more singers haven’t devoted entire concerts to his songs” (The New York Times). Joan Osborne sings the songs of Bob Dylan at MASS MoCA on Friday, July 7, at 8pm. Osborne made a name for herself in 1995 with the success of her multi-platinum album Relish, which featured the hit “One of Us.” But it wasn’t until a couple of years after moving to New York City in the late ’80s that Osborne began to take her singing career seriously, when — after running out her film school scholarship — she found herself belting out Billie Holiday's classic "God Bless the Child" during a local open-mic. In 1992, Osborne formed her own label, Womanly Hips, and released a few recordings before signing on with Mercury Records to release Soul Show: Live at Delta 88, in 1991. The success of “One of Us” in 1995, which spent two weeks at the number one spot on the U.S. singles chart, sold three million copies, and received numerous Grammy nominations, made Osborne a household name.
